that's also $999 for 8gb of ram (!!!), which will clearly throttle under any actual use.

  Newer macOS is actually really good about running with less RAM. The only problem is then your SSD will suddenly fill up. If either was upgradable, this would be no problem.

    Think about what ram is used for. App binaries, sure. But most of what is stored in memory is content, video, image, file cache. These will not differ much from OS to OS, the only difference would be baseline memory usage before I start opening YouTube tabs.

      This. Win 11 will run 'fine' on 8gb of ram also. It will also fall apart once you do ~anything other than browse the web just like modern OSX.

        > just like modern OSX But my MacBook only has an issue because the SSD is pathetically small. If I had the next tier up, it would be no issue.
